The Great Barrier Coral reefs

The great barrier reefs on the coast of Australia are going to be freed of the leaking oil tanker. About 950 tonnes of oil were pumped onto another ship and could be saved, however on board are still 65'000 tonnes of coal that the Chinese boat wanted to transport. "Shen Neng 1", the name of the oil tanker, drove onto the protected coral reefs full force where 4 tonnes of oil escaped the 230 meter long tanker. Environmentally oriented NGO's are scared that the lost oil will destroy a great part of the habitat and that it will leave a constant effect.
The Minister president of Queensland, Australia, demands that the penalty for oil catastrophes of ships are raised from 1.75 million to 10 million Australian dollars.
